Welcome to the ENS Book Blog...

My name is Chris Martin and I am a school psychologist from Upstate New York and empty nose sufferer of 10 years. I would like to welcome you to the blog for discussing Having Nasal Surgery? Don't You Become An Empty Nose Victim! I wrote this book out of a desire to raise awareness of ENS to a new level and also in part because there were so few resources for ENS sufferers. While writing it, I learned that many of the strategies for treating ENS could actually be very beneficial for a host of nasal and sinus problems. This book is part testimonial and part informational. Who could benefit from this book? Treatment strategies in it could significantly help those with ENS, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, postnasal drip, acid reflux, and/or asthma (pretty much anyone with kleenex in the house). An unbiased review of medical literature could empower those considering nose or sinus surgery. The testimonial and scientific journey of ENS could inform ENT specialists and plastic surgeons; scientists studying regenerative medicine; and families and friends.

Nice post!Balloon sinuplasty seems to be getting a ton of traction lately. If nothing else I am glad that people are becoming aware of other options. It used to be that sinus surgery was the only way and that's a pretty invasive procedure w/ a less than stellar success rate.Thanks again for posting. I will now go and check out your book!

My reply: Thanks for your thoughts. I agree it is nice to have less invasive options. I would just add this one comment: I think treating the sinuses to prevent inflammation post-sinus surgery would help ensure its effectiveness; in the case of an antrostomy, it would make it a permanent success as the opening would remain there to prevent recirculation. Of course, it's important to do all you can preventatively prior to undergoing surgery in the first place. Thanks again for your thoughts!
